The application will be served on the specified port on the ./configuration/base.yaml file. (default: 5000)

You have to update the email_client section in the ./configuration/local.yaml in order to use the email client

1. Add a new subscriber

To add a new subscriber send a x-www-form-urlencoded POST request to http://localhost:5000/subscription with name and email fields.

Then the subscriber will receive a confirmation email, which will contain a link to confirm the subscription.

2. ... TODO...

The project was build while reading above book, From Zero to Production in Rust.

I have completed the project to use it on my own blog (here)

Do you thinking, how simple the project idea is?

I recommend you to take a look at the source and test, good luck!
